Start by placing the pork chops and plums into your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until the sugar is fully dissolved. Pour this flavorful mixture over the pork and fruit. Cover and let it cook on low for about 8 hours, until the pork is tender and infused with all those zesty flavors.
